Project description:We use a metabolic labeling strategy for directly measuring nucleosome turnover to examine the effect of doxorubicin on chromatin dynamics in squamous cell carcinoma cell lines derived from genetically defined mice. We find that doxorubicin enhances nucleosome turnover around gene promoters, and turnover correlates with gene expression level. Keywords: Chromatin affinity-purification on microarray 26 CATCH-IT arrays and 8 expression arrays.
Project description:We use a metabolic labeling strategy for directly measuring nucleosome turnover to determine the role of chromatin remodeler Chd1 on chromatin dynamics in mouse embryonic fibroblasts expressing with wildtype-Chd1 and dominant negative K510R-Chd1. We find that expression of K5 10R-Chd1 decreases nucleosome turnover at the promoter and increases turnover within the gene body. 10 Illumina sequencing samples and 4 Nimblegen array samples

Project description:We developed a system to study the DNA replication-independent turnover nucleosomes containing the histone variant H3.3 in mammalian cells. By measuring the genome-wide incorporation of H3.3 at different time points following epitope-tagged H3.3 expression, we find three categories of H3.3-nucleosome turnover in vivo: rapid turnover, intermediate turnover and, specifically at telomeres, slow turnover. Our data indicate that H3.3-containing nucleosomes at enhancers and promoters undergo a rapid turnover that is associated with active histone modification marks including H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac and the histone variant H2A.Z. The rate of turnover is negatively correlated with H3K27me3 at regulatory regions and with H3K36me3 at gene bodies. Examination of incorporation dynamics of histone variant H3.3
Project description:Direct measurement of nucleosome turnover dynamics by using co-translational incorporation of the methionine (Met) surrogate azidohomoalaine (Aha) into proteins and subsequent ligation of biotin to Aha-containing proteins through the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between the azide group of Aha and an alkyne linked to biotin. To measure turnover rates, we treat cells briefly with Aha, couple biotin to nucleosomes containing newly incorporated histones, affinity purify with strepavidin, wash stringently to remove non-histone proteins and H2A/H2B dimers, and analyze the affinity-purified DNA using tiling microarrays. We call this strategy 'CATCH-IT' for Covalent Attachment of Tags to Capture Histones and Identify Turnover. Keywords: Chromatin affinity-purification on microarray
